Years ago, I wanted to help our sailors by sharing little sayings that I learned in the fleet to remember really hard stuff. I'm an extremely lazy person and the easier I can get something done, the better.
I wanted to pass my knowledge onto the sailors on my website so they can learn the tricks that I had to teach myself through the Craig's Home School of Hard Knocks... I made "Vets Helping Sailors" my key name because I wanted other Vets to help me, but it didn't pan out. Here is one of them.
Paul B~ This is the sheet I was talking to you about. In IT school, Frequency Spectrums is one of the hardest areas to learn. They drop more people from that area than anything else. It is extremely hard to learn. If you remember this saying, and remember only one frequency, then you will ace that section.... Here it is....
